I have a routine need to replace filename whitespace (space, period, hyphen, etc) with underscore. Normally, it seems faster to brute-force it with rename than to write a script.

Couple of months ago I found a program that does it perfectly and download it. I should have named it something sensible, put its path in the path variable, and put a link to it on the desktop so I could locate it. I didn't, and now I cannot find it because I don't remember its name or location.

Can anyone help me with this?

  • pyRenamer maybe? It's in the Ubuntu repos. GPRename is almost the same as pyRenamer and it's also in the Ubuntu repos.
